. What are the implications of false or misidentification in the courtroom?
An eyewitness picks the person that most resembles the criminal in a line up or pictures which may not be them. Sometimes the criminal that did the act, isn't even in the line up giving the eyewitness. This makes it very hard to identify the right man. This causes misidentification and in a courthouse could potentially put the wrong person in jail. Bobby Pool and Ronald Cotton have similar facial features. They both have similar lips, shape of their eyebrows, and color of their skin. They show many test and observations to prove how our memory can be trick and misinformed. So eyewitness are not accountable when it comes to a trial in my eyes.
